Metrics-based Risk AnalysisWe use metrics based risk analysis and automated tools to identify and track key productivity indicators for continuous process improvement. Our automated scans record processing times and information flows to identify operational bottlenecks in computer systems and data management processes. Our most recent and ongoing analytical efforts support PriceWaterhouse Coopers, LLC in their analysis and correlation of big data to identify and proactively respond to emerging risk patterns and develop risk mitigation strategies.

Modeling and SimulationWe design, develop and implement algorithms that use historic and current data to compute and project the likelihood of future events. We design, develop and implement automated tools to evaluate a variety of scenarios in commercial, government and military situations based on fixed and variable inputs. The resulting evaluations serve as multi-level decision tools and to prepare proper support resources for projects and operations.

Information SystemsWe design web-based solutions and database solutions as integrated components to allow clients to collect, store, process and communicate information. Our clients rely on our customized information systems to manage enterprise-level operations, supply services, and compete in the information environment. IDEAMATICS is skilled at productivity improvement and business process re-engineering through work-flow analysis. Our holistic solutions incorporate proven information assurance and testing best practices. We have extensive experience in successfully implementing and testing applications in a variety of environments. Our U.S. Navy project demonstrated our ability to work within the boundaries of a remote, managed server environment with security constraints while ultimately rolling out a fully tested application on a world-wide level.

Web-based SolutionsIDEAMATICS, Inc. has developed HTTP front-ends for .NET Frameworks 1.0 to 4.0 for both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard. We have extensive experience in writing ASP.NET applications using VB.NET which are scalable for small or large numbers of concurrent users. Our front-ends are performance-optimized for quick load times and designed for ease-of-use using Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2010. We practice thorough in-line commenting in code as required by our internal development standards, so that any developer can understand the intent of our code. IDEAMATICS, Inc. maintains a complete library of current development licenses to allow our developers to immediately begin work on new projects.

Cross-system Reporting ToolsIDEAMATICS, Inc. has developed web applications that employ reporting tools such as Crystal Reports, SQL Reporting Services, Business Objects and custom-built ad-hoc tools. Our U.S. Navy application currently integrates with Crystal Reports to enable users to display a selected report using selection criteria entered by the user within the web application. Our custom-built ad-hoc reporting tools allow for powerful queries against selected database tables that can be displayed through HTTP or exported to Excel or a comma-delimited file. The U.S. Coast Guard uses our MRTT application to generate reports with SQL Reporting Services to meet instant communication needs for emergency operations such as Hurricane Ike, Hurricane Sandy, and the Haiti Earthquake disaster response.

Comprehensive Disaster Recovery PlansWe currently support mission-critical applications for the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the U.S. Coast Guard, so we understand the importance of a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. Our internal company disaster recovery plan allows for all our customer test sites to be brought up in our Colorado branch office should operations become compromised in our corporate office in Virginia.

System IntegrationWe specialize in developing tools to share database information with other applications. We have integrated applications seamlessly with the existing corporate systems of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps, National Association of Manufacturers, and the U.S. Coast Guard. IDEAMATICS, Inc. has built interfaces to external applications using Web Services and secure file transfer protocols (SFTP). Our U.S. Navy Web Service consumes and exposes data to a U.S. Marine Corps system utilized across the continental United States, Hawaii, and Okinawa, Japan. Similarly, SQL Server Integration Systems (SSIS) and Data Transformation Service (DTS) jobs were built for the U.S. Navy to drop text files for import by an SSIS or DTS job into another U.S. Navy system across the NIPR/SIPR boundary.

Relational DatabasesIDEAMATICS, Inc. has successfully created and deployed scalable SQL 2000, SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 database solutions for the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard. Our enterprise-level U.S. Navy application stores millions of rows of data across its database. All our relational databases are optimized for performance with appropriate design of database schema, including indexes and keys. We require no additional SQL licenses for development. Additionally, we maintain our own in-house SQL Server to facilitate staging of development, testing and training activities. IDEAMATICS, Inc. has extensive experience with importing legacy data of all complexities to updated or current systems. The U.S. Navy application required a complex set of legacy import tasks from Access databases. Additionally, we routinely import data from Excel spreadsheets such as for a mobilization of 500 U.S. Navy Construction Battalion reservists. We often deal with large datasets and are experienced in handling complex data import requests.

Application Support and MaintenanceIDEAMATICS, Inc. is passionate and committed to providing fast, quality technical support of our applications. Our ongoing and long-term relationship with the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Coast Guard testify to our excellent support and maintenance of their systems. We handle small and large customer service requests, including writing SQL scripts for back-end data modifications, logging requests for new features, and walking customers through application functionality. We have a robust and proven Help Desk support system for capturing calls and activity logs to document actions taken to resolve client issues. These tools also grow our technical knowledge base. In late 2013 our team of developers and testers spent just over three months updating U.S. Navy software to bring a critical system of record in compliance with Department of Defense Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and NSA information assurance standards. This critical requirement was completed in half the time normally required for similar efforts.
